Colloquium

Virgo, a Laboratory for Studying Environmentally Driven Galaxy Evolution 2010-10-20

  • Speaker : Prof. Aeree Chung (Yonsei University)
  • Date : 2010-10-20 16:00 ~ 17:30
  • Location :
As the nearest rich and dynamically young galaxy cluster, Virgo is an ideal place to study great details of how galaxies interact with their surroundings. Using the data from our recent VLA HI imaging study (namely VIVA: VLA Imaging of Virgo galaxies in Atomic gas), I will present late type Virgo galaxies undergoing various environmental effects. I will discuss 1) which processes are dominantly affect galaxies in different density regions, 2) how far out the impact of the cluster reaches, and 3) how the environment may modify galaxies in morphology and color.
